I was expecting a slow and painful Tuesday night since I had a good session on Monday but I was very pleasantly surprised.
I did a spin class first and then straightaway I went out for my run. I was not sure how my legs would be so had only planned 3 miles which is just good enough as in the triathlon it is only 5km (3.1m) that I will have to run after my swim and bike. I felt really good though and although I always plan this as an easy recovery run I pushed the pace since I felt good. I may regret that tonight.
The splits were:
8.56 m/m
8.19 m/m
8.25 m/m
I was really pleased with this. The first mile was fast for me but I managed that because I was warmed up from spin I think. The second mile felt quite easy but I had to dig deep to complete the third mile at sub 8.30 m/m pace.
I managed to do Body Attack quite well after this well, although I my legs were tired by the last couple of tracks – I still managed all of the power lunges at the end though!
I am off to the club tonight but I am nervous (still!) as I must be due a plodding night since I have had two good back to back sessions. I am going to drive round the route that we talked about doing first so I know where I am if I get left behind!
